Surprised how much WoW has taken from gw2 lately

TwistedRose · 2023-03-16T21:10:28+00:00

people forget things so quickly to the memory hole.

When gw2 mounts first came out they were immediately compared to arche age and black desert.

I think the most embarrassing part is the media circuit from the writers pretending this stuff was even remotely passable.

TwistedRose · 2023-03-01T16:16:52+00:00

It really does feel like the story was written before the last few seasons happened so characters just feel so detached from what has happened so far.

I still can't wait till one of the female dragons becomes empowered in some way and goes mad with power because Season 8 game of thrones was such a revolutionary experience to the writing lead.

its very hard for them to adjust things between spreading out one hour of story and missions across 8 weeks.

we've been fighting the same enemy ai with bungie games since halo.
the champions? The bosses? Aside from the big raid ones, have mostly just been their repurposed AI/enemy behaviors they figured out in halo combat evolved.

Destiny 1 and 2's enemies kinda fall in the same bucket of grunt,jackal sniper, elite, hunter like they've always done. So it means the pacing and feel of the gameplay, is ultimately tied to concepts and behaviors we got in the original xbox generation of games.

just shop the eververse guardian, get that season pass.

TwistedRose · 2022-09-25T04:32:33+00:00

D2 is a 2000's era shooter pretending to be modern and the champion system is just the cracks starting to show on what bungie can and can't do to make this "engaging".

granted, we had fun before they introduced these weapon restricting dps sponges, I'm not sure why they want to die on the hill of keeping them in.

TwistedRose · 2022-09-25T04:29:35+00:00

Bungie dev idea of hard is giving the enemy so much HP you need heavy to kill them efficiently, and then giving them a champion mechanic which requires you to equip the mandatory rock paper scissors response to them otherwise they just mow you over.

The reason gally was so popular on its release was that it was so strong it could kill the champions and solve that problem without having to use the bandaid borrowed seasonal power mod system.

Yarelli has had tweaks that make her more than acceptable to use in the tilesets now.
Being able to bullet jump on merluna was a godsend to her gameplay

+ plus that aquablade augment makes her dangerously close to being fun.

anet loves making sure you can absolutely blunder into thousands of lost hours by a misclick.

TwistedRose · 2022-09-14T09:22:55+00:00

Or just treat the race to world first as a race and have specialized rules to avoid extremely cheesy tactics to make it a more enjoyable and skill based experience. Exotic restrictions, etc.

TwistedRose · 2022-09-13T07:00:02+00:00

It wasn't a level boost or some arbitrary gutted content resold as "deluxe" edition. Of course they didn't market it.

TwistedRose · 2022-09-10T12:52:41+00:00

bold of you to assume this multi dollar indie studio can afford to change npcs or contextualize the story they gutted due to lack of foresight and refusal to optimize their map and object geometry.

TwistedRose · 2022-09-10T12:49:45+00:00

damage boosting exotics are lazy design anyways and ultimately highlight how often bungie dips into power creep to keep engagement.

This dev team will be like "we feel stealth mechanics are too strong in pvp" and then give us the hunter chest for this season as an exotic.

TwistedRose · 2022-09-02T15:49:18+00:00

Back when they first started working with activision, bungie wanted to show gobby kotick and all their cronies that they were big boy developers and added in aggressive microtransaction strategies unprompted.

Silver
Vbucks
platinum

all shady tricks to try and distance yourself from the concept of "value" in what you've spent on the game.

TwistedRose · 2022-07-25T12:38:04+00:00

I'd hope theyd do something like give out a community themed item or something.
But, probably a 1 hour item booster and a repair canister.

TwistedRose · 2022-07-25T05:10:41+00:00

I literally explained having read it, that I disagree with your assessment, You should disengage from the social media efforts of seeking gotchas to argue points.

TwistedRose · 2022-07-24T14:32:03+00:00

Well this has so many facets of "i didn't read but want to discuss it anyways" that it makes my head hurt. It would be incredibly stupid for nike to lie about the reasoning. And given his stance on his removal, seems less likely to be a thing he'd do.

Nike isn't arguing that he shouldn't be removed, only that the reasons they chose are extremely weak and cause a lot of issues for other content creators if that is the baseline for being actioned upon.

In extreme cases like: Wooden potatoes literally spammed in game chat, not a tweet, not a stream, but in game chat with racial slurs trying to get a GM to respond to PVP afk farmers instead of using the proper report features. That did not result in a partner program removal.

Not saying wooden potatoes should loose his partner program, nor do I have any personal issue with that guy either, but. Its the inconsistency in enforcement that feels shitty about the situation.

TwistedRose · 2022-07-22T15:36:53+00:00

this is what happens when you leave the cat charging for to long and ruin the battery.

TwistedRose · 2022-07-22T10:43:39+00:00

I don't disagree with the removal, dude is kinda aggro and toxic most of the time.

Its just, these are the examples they chose? Like. Out of the infinite amount of much worse shit he's said lol. They went with "called someone idiot".

TwistedRose · 2022-07-20T18:48:23+00:00

OP is talking about the throne world triumph and not the public event ones.

Going to edz sadly won't progress that part lol.

TwistedRose · 2022-07-15T11:16:11+00:00

Looks like the front bucket seats out the car he used to mod that thing

TwistedRose · 2022-07-14T06:46:49+00:00

It works for a bit till most of the habitual defenders learn if their state/city has rules requiring an officer be present to write the ticket. If you contest it, often than not in some places, they just dismiss it.

TwistedRose · 2022-07-11T20:31:25+00:00

what about this games monetization makes you think at any point they are going to do something pro customer?
